Went back for another ride, this time taking in a big mountain. Hard work, boggy in places, pushing/carrying required, weather closing in, mentally strong winds, frozen feet & hands, excellent company. Real proper mountain biking. I should do more really.
That sounds like my sort of ride!
I used to hate rides that involved pushing/carrying but I loved this one. I guess being pretty fit at the moment helps.
It was a hot, then just warm and sunny, awe inspiring slog then it suddenly got stupididly windy, cold and a mite scarey as is the way of these things. And it was marvellous or as some would have it a ‘bonkers ride’.. had to be done.
I’ll be going back and to the top proper. Probably just with walking boots and absolutely not along Striding Edge, oh no.

Who’d have thought it ;0)
